Is there an easy way to get rid of the weeds that keep on poking up between the pavers around my pool? I'd love to use Roundup or something like that since it's easy, but I don't know how much the pool would like it.

You can usually get polymeric sand at a landscape supply yard that sells brick and stone.

It makes concrete really slick though...
I'll raise my hand for Roundup too...great stuff...

Besides polymeric sand, sealing the pavers also can help alot. The sealer will get in the joints and bond the sand together.JCJR said:fponzani said:After that, brush "polymeric" sand between the bricks and wet down according to the instructions.

I have read that polymeric sand is the way to go as well. The only thing is I can't seem to find it in South Florida. I have called paver companies and they say either to use silica sand or mason sand. Does any one know where to get polymeric sand in So FL?
